Dental Insurance

Part-time Employee State Benefit Information

As a University of Illinois employee receiving State benefits, you and your eligible dependents qualify for health, dental and vision insurance coverage. In addition:

Part-time employees may elect to waive State health, dental and vision insurance coverage.

The State of Illinois pays for a portion of employee health and dental insurance, with a monthly employee
contribution based on the employee's salary and plan selected.

Part-time employees also pay for a percentage of the State contribution, based upon the percentage of the appointment.

Salary-based contributions remain in effect until June
30 of the plan year unless you retire, accept a voluntary salary reduction or return to
State employment at a different salary (this does not apply if you are returning to work from a leave of absence).

Part-time employees hired before July 1, 2003 who had previously waived coverage in order to become a dependent of their State of Illinois Plan participating spouse, are allowed to remain a dependent.

Employees who are covered by the grandfather clause:

May continue as a dependent on spouse's State health and dental plan.
